Seven Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) Holy crap, the animation quality in episode 5 has jumped to near movie quality! When Gainax is in the mood, they animate like no other studio can. This episode just ROCKS! Now it looks like they are going to finally explain how this series is tied to the original. Although still no "Diebuster", and I'm starting to think there won't be any new giant super robot per say. Edited March 9, 2006 by Seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The original series is great!!!!!!! LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT!!! Great story, excellent oldschool animation (screw CG when you have good hand drawn animation), super mecha action and characters that you care for. I want to thank this thread for always reminding me that I had to see this great series. Finally done so and it was sure worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the money for it right now, so I will not be spending it until this order comes in. It will be undoubtedly the most expensive piece of plastic I have ever bought, but it will look nice on my Gunbuster site. I have got to keep the toy page current with the newer stuff coming out.

Thanks. 382226[/snapback] I do not mind the pictures of the Studio HalfEye kit being posted. The owners would probably consider it advertisement for their product. The cosplay images; however, are a different matter. Although Cosplay.com has them posted, they have permission to do so as they are also posted on the original photographer's site. And, as a matter of fact, I was going to post today that I did receive permission to use Hilary's images, but I still need to get approval from her friend Ali. (Edit: Mind you this is for my site only. I was surprised to find out that both costumes were designed using images from my site. It seems that both Hilary and Ali are big Gunbuster fans also.)

Noriko Takaya Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well, just got word from Ali today and I have full permission to use her and Hilary's images for my site. I'm going to see if I can wrangle the design pattern they used for the swimsuit and the tunic so I can post it for any female fans wanting to make their own. By the way, how large is the Studio HalfEye model going to be? I heard it was going to be around 20 or so inches high, but I have never purchased anything from these guys before. If anyone here has ever bought something from them before, could you tell us what size the model was. I'll be pissed if I had to pay $500 for a model that was 7 inches tall. I want it to at least have some size to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) hi most She stuff is small, but there expensive perfect change stuff is usually bigger. i have their Getter Robo it is about 13 inches this will be about the same, remember unlike normal toylines, Studio Halfeye stuff is limited which makes it much more expensive it is also handmade unlike most toy companies which pump everything out by assembly lines, this is one of the reasons their stuff is more expensive then the normal toys also the fact that they use resin instead of plastic, if you look at any high end resin factory (G-system, B-club, Coreworks, Volks) you will see that resin kits are always exspenive and usually require painting and assembly. these are precolored and already assembled this adds to the cost of it. do not treat it like a normal toy see it as a rare highend collectible and you will not be dissapointed. i have a whole shelf of She stuff and i have yet to be dissapointed myself and i still have more on the way. chris off topic show off picture Edited March 22, 2006 by zeo-mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I heard the perfect change Getter leaves more to be desired though. Someone told me its joints are loose and floppy and variuos other problems which i can't remmember. But maybe he was expecting something more durable for the money he paid.
